Bridge Of Hoviv

The Bridge of Hoviv, located in Basean province of Western Armenia, is entirely made of the stone tufa (soft, volcanic stone). It was built in the 8th century on the crater of Murts River, which runs from Mountains in Erzurum; and the Arax River, which starts from Bingol Mountains. According to the legend, the bridge is called “Shepherd", because builders – out of common sense of righteousness – used to ask shepherds to place the first stones. However, the flow of the Arax River destroyed the foundations of the bridge. Eventually, the construction of the bridge ended successfully.
